IMPROVEMENT IN KITCHEN AND HOlUSEHOL-D SINKS.

The Schedule referred to in these Letters Patent and making part of thesame.

We, ERNEST GEORGE CHORMANN and EDWARD- MGLAUGHLIN, of the city andcounty of Philadelphia,

and-State of Pennsylvania, have invented an. improved Kilchen `andHousehold Sink, of' which the following is a specication. A

The-object of our invention is the production of'a sink for domestic usethat shall beffsimple in construction, compact in form, exempt fromderangement, and easily kept clean and inodorous; that shall dischargeand carry away all the waste water and refuse matter that may beintroduced into it, and that will furnish no breedingplace or refuge forvermin, espe- `cost, and of such design, material, and finish as topresent a neat andl attractive appearance, and be an ornament as well asa convenience; unlike the clumsy and nntidy sinks in general use, whichdsiigure the kitchen bytheir unsightly appearance, emit offensive0do1s,and accumulate ilth.

In the accompanying drawing A Figure l represents a vertical centralsection of our invention; y

Figure 2 isa bottom view of the movable drainingrack. y

Figure 3 represents the strainer. A' A A A represent the sink-basin oroutside casin g, cast of iron or otherwise fabricated, having itsinterior surface enameled or suitably coated, painted,.lined, orotherwise protected.

,Bis a horizontal movable draining-rack, shelf, ledge, or rest, iu thecentral sectionof whichare cast orinserted suitable rods, net-work, ortheir equivalent, an'd ,socoustructedand arranged as to permit the freeegress of the vwaste'fcontents ofthe sink. On the lower side of thedraining-rack are cast or aflixed the saddles or double lugs G C C O,which fit upon or interlock with the-shoulders a a a a, by which Y.arrangement the rack is securely retained inposiltion.

The outer edge of the draining-rack maybe scalloped, perforated, orindented, to facilitate the escape of' waste water orrefusematter.

D is the strainer, witha perforated center or central section,fabricated of rods, net-work, or their equivalents. n

lllc strainer may be removed or replaced by means of a lug, knob, orhandle on its top, and its outcredgemay be scalloped, perforated, -orindented, to facilitate lthe discharge ot' the waste contents of thesink into the reservoir E, at the bottom of' which is an orifice,

into which fits the plug F, which may be withdrawn at will bya chain orotherwise.

G isthe outlet, through which the waste contents of the sink areconveyed into a discharge-pipe or conduit, or otherwise emptied.

H isa receptacle for holding soap or other articles, orfor'other'appropriatc use, and made of' any a'pproved design, form,capacity,r and extent:l The receptaole should be fabricated ot' suoli4conformation as to canse all drip or waste matter to drain or gravitateIintoth'e sink.

` By reason of the curved outline and interior configuration of thesink-basin no corners, angular projections, or points exist to arrest orimpede the discharge o'f the waste contents of the sink, or permit themto accumulate by adhering to the sides or becoming de posited in anyrecess, interet-ice, or place of lodgment.

We claim as our invention-l A kitchen or household sink composed of thesinkbasiu A AAA, the draining-rack B, the saddles O C C C, the shouldersa c c a, the strainer D, the reservoir E, the plug F, the outlet G, andthe receptacle H, and their several equivalents, combined, arranged',constructed,land operating in the manner andI for the purposessubstantially asdescribed.
